Re: Eunice, Maud, and Opal
in reply to a message by Effie
Eunice isn't very pretty, it's got that nasally sound - but it's not awful and would be usable, in a hipster way. So ugly it's cute, nothing really dragging it down. It used to be stereotypically little-old-housewife-y, but I don't think it is any more.Maud would also seem "ugly-retro-chic" and is usable. I think it's a little cute, even. I expect most people would hate it - that's what makes it seem so hipsterish. But it gets an air of spunkiness from sounding like "Mod," and also from Harold and Maude.Opal is truly ugly IMO and gives me a very blowsy impression. But I guess it could probably be used in the hipster way too, since I think not everyone would say it was ugly, and it fits with the word name trend.Any of them would be cool to see on my son's 4-year-old peers, but I really don't like Opal.
